Hezekiah paced in his palace. “How much longer are we going to be stuck inside these city walls?” A knock on the door caught his attention. The door opened slowly. Eliakim stood in the doorway. “Sir, there’s a message from Sennacherib.” The king stared at him. “Is it from the Rabshakeh again?” “No, he sent… Continue reading Look At This

How Old Would You Be?
Satchel Paige didn’t have an official birth certificate so there was a guess made about how old he was when he entered the Negro League of Professional Baseball. He pitched until he was “59” years old. Some wondered how he was able to keep going at such a high level for so long. He said,… Continue reading How Old Would You Be?
I’m a Recruiter for Kairos
Since I lived to tell about my first weekend in prison others think they want to join me. I guess that makes me a leader. I’ve led by example before but not to this extent. I hate seeing trash in the city park I run in. So, instead of looking at it I stop and… Continue reading I’m a Recruiter for Kairos
Well…I lived to tell about it
Wow! I’m so excited I’ll write that backwards. Wow! Last week was quite something else. I hoped to take Monday and Tuesday off to prepare for the Kairos weekend. God had other plans. The window company dispatcher called the Friday before saying he needed someone to take an overflow load to Kansas. It sounded like… Continue reading Well…I lived to tell about it
The First Week of 2018 was Eventful
2017 went out with a blast and 2018 came in with a blast of cold air plus some interesting things I never saw coming. On New Years Eve I accepted a driving assignment to Corpus Christi, Texas. It began at 9:30 PM. That all seemed innocent enough and it was. The tractor I was given… Continue reading The First Week of 2018 was Eventful
Called to Fail
Where am I? Who is that sitting on a throne? His robe is incredible. It’s filling every part of the floor. Those beings over the throne…who are they? Why do they have wings…six wings on each one? They’re using two to fly with, but why are they covering their face and feet? The seraphim spoke… Continue reading Called to Fail
Short-term 2nd Chance Successes
Jonah awoke with a sharp pain on his leg. He reached down and groped his right shin. He pealed off what must have been a section of octopus tentacle. “Lord, how much longer must I suffer like this? I’m sorry for running. I know it was foolish of me. Nobody can win against You. Please… Continue reading Short-term 2nd Chance Successes
The Holidays are Hard
A writer’s life is fraught with challenges. Like properly using the word fraught in a sentence to lead off a blog post. If God chooses you to write for His glory don’t expect an easy life. If your life was cozy before your call it will be turned upside down after your call. The reason… Continue reading The Holidays are Hard
The Fruit of the Spirit Prayer
Today I’m sharing with you the compilation prayer that ends the chapter of the Fruit of the Spirit from my book 100 Prayers of a Writer. I’m very pleased how well this prayer came together. I find myself needing its message frequently. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,… Continue reading The Fruit of the Spirit Prayer
Battle Song
“I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.” King Jehoshaphat kept walking back to Jerusalem. He couldn’t shake the prophesy of Micaiah about King Ahab dying in this battle. “Why weren’t you fighting at the time?” “My brother just received a gash on his leg before it happened. I… Continue reading Battle Song
